Job DescriptionThe tax, accounting and regulatory environment confronting HR is extremely complex and continually changing. Inefficient tax planning and failure to proactively manage tax, accounting and regulatory risks emanating from HR strategies, rewards and delivery models can significantly and unexpectedly impact a business' bottom line. Our team is devoted to helping Human Resource and Finance effectively meet these challenges. Whether the issue is a highly technical benefits or compensation tax/accounting issue, the impact of new legislation or regulations on plan administration, or broad-based design and strategy, we offer technical depth and a pragmatic perspective focused on achieving both Finance and Human Resource goals. In addition to "traditional compliance" services, we also offer cost-saving tax and accounting planning ideas and designs that are delivered by staff who are highly experienced with both the tax regulators and accounting standard-setters.

As a member of our team, you will help companies align their executive and employee compensation (base pay, annual incentives, long term incentives, and local and international stock option plans) with business objectives, and solve the unique challenges of global stock option plans by focusing on risk management, cost reduction, and employee perception of value.
